    Hi! I want to install Windows 7 RC on my sister's Lenovo n500, and I would like to know if it affects the hidden partition of Windows Vista...Windows 7 will be in German, as she knows German only, not English...So, in case I want to revert back to English Windows Vista, I think I can do it by pressing Lenovo Care button at start up, and recovering Windows Vista from hidden partition...I don't have any files or non-Windows programs I want to save or back up...So, in theory, since I will be installing Windows 7 onto C drive/partition, it shouldn't touch the hidden partition which holds recovery for Windows Vista...Thank you for your answers and advice...
